seti@home来了信,可是不懂啊!帮忙大致翻译一下啦!谢谢
The SETI@home team has achieved much progress in the past year. We havesuccessfully started the next phase of SETI@home by distributing data recordedwith the new seven beam data recorder. This data is being analyzed with a new"Multi-beam" version of SETI@home, which was released in July. With the newdata recorder, we are looking at seven places in the sky simultaneously whilerecording fourteen times as much data as before. This means we need morevolunteers like you to help us process this data. So please, tell a friendabout SETI@home.But there is still far more to be done. Although we are pleased with thesuccess of last winter✀s funding drive, and grateful for the generosity of ourdonors, we are still operating with minimal funds. These budget constraintshave forced us down to less than 3 full time employees. With more funds wehope to hire an additional person to maintain the servers and web site. Thiswould free our existing employees to work on a method of sifting through theresults returned by your computers in order to identify candidates morerapidly so we can re-observe them. This rapid response validation system wouldalso give you the ability to see the results your computers have returned inmore detail.To keep SETI@home operating for the next year, and to provide these newcapabilities, we will need to raise approximately $476,000. CurrentlySETI@home is entirely funded by donations from people like you.We hope that you will consider making a donation to SETI@home at this time.You can make a secure donation by credit card by clicking on the link at thetop of this e-mail. Instructions for donation by check or money order arethere as well.
